The central ski resort of Les Trois Vallées, Europe’s largest ski area, Méribel offers access to more than 600 kilometres of spectacular alpine slopes, and has long been a favourite amongst French ski resorts. Purpose-built from the 1930s under the direction of Christian Durupt, it’s not only a very aesthetically pleasing village, but a well-functioning one — almost all the best places to stay in Méribel have ski-in ski-out access, perfect for active holidaymakers.
Novice skiers will find this a wonderful place to hone their skills, with ski schools and expert lessons aplenty. The slopes around the Altiport allow a gentle introduction to the sport, whilst seasoned professionals can zip down the challenging run (plenty of moguls here) from the Combe de Vallon on Mont Vallon to Méribel Mottaret, glide down countless off-piste mountainsides or follow the Women’s Downhill 1992 Winter Olympics course. The tobogganing runs at La Truite are also great fun in the winter, whilst summer travellers can hike and mountain bike around the beautiful Lac de Tuéda. Gliding, helicopter tours and scenic flights are also a magical way to see the region from the air.
Back in town, fill your bags with fresh local produce at Méribel market, pop into designer shops and independent boutiques, or unwind at a world-class spa. The après-ski scene kicks off mid-afternoon, with bustling bars and pubs reflecting Méribel’s enduring popularity with British skiers. Party the night away with trendy DJ sets or feast at an exceptional gourmet restaurant before retreating to one of the best places to stay in Méribel ahead of your next big day out.
